1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 2: And welcome back to Coast to Coast George Norrie with you.

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: Bob Davis back with us. Internationally known and recognized research

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: scientist and author, and after receiving his doctorate degree back

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty one, he conducted research, taught, and was

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: an administrator for the State University of New York for

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: more than thirty years. Bob has spoken about his research

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: on the effects of environmental and toxic stimuli in the

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: brain and sensory systems and venues that vary from national

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: and international scientific conferences. He has written three books, The

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: UFO Phenomenon, Should I Believe? Life After Death? And his

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: recent book Unseen Forces The Integration of Science Reality A

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: new serves as the basis for the documentary The Consciousness Connection. Bob,

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: welcome back.

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: It's a pleasure to be with you, George. I think

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: this is a third time.

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And I was reading your Edge Science article

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: on spiritually transformative experiences. We'll talk about that tonight. But

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: great article, well done, well.

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, appreciate it.

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: Is science beginning to notice these strange things.

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: Well, eventually and they have, but unfortunately it's just too

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: limited in nature. Too few scientists are actually being engaged

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 3: in understanding what these transformative experiences are that results from

25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: multi states of consciousness is complex, per sexual attributes, full

26
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: of significance and importance to the person. What we call

27
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: mistical extraordinary experiences that come in all varying shapes and sights.

28
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: It's a myriad of forms which we'll talk about that

29
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: have great meaning to the person. Is lacking in our science.

30
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: We don't put the subjective interpretation, the essence of what

31
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,639
Speaker 3: it means to the person on the experience and apply

32
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: it in terms of what theories may exist, which we don't,

33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: and that's the problem. We don't have the scientific principles

34
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: that under Newtonian physics that can easily be adapted methodologically, theoretically, clinically.

35
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: We better understand essentially what these people are going through,

36
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: the transformative outcomes it has on them, and the essence

37
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 3: of the triggers that give rise to them, like near

38
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: debt and not a body experiences, the up phenomenon, even

39
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: culine awakenings, meditation. Number of things that in both these

40
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: kinds of experial experiences are being all receiving some attention,

41
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 3: no question, among acneditions, more now than ever before, but

42
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: it's still pales in comparison to what we really need

43
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 3: in terms of a multidisciplinary effort. Of course, many scientists, scholars,

44
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: and nonscience as experiences especially, so we better understand their reports.

45
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: What was it about their experience itself in terms of

46
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: its themes? It's content, it's the messages received, uh, the

47
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: essence of it? What did it do to them? What

48
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: impression has it has? And how it had to transformed

49
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: them in many philosophical ways in terms of the personal

50
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: belief systems in every way she can conform.

51
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: Who coined the phrase spiritually transformative experience? Where did that

52
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: come from?

53
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: Ivankasan? I don't know, if you have to as a

54
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: guess someone, I don't think the Evanka Son's a physician

55
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: who've had neo depth experiences probline awakening. She's a founder

56
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: of the Spiritually Awakening Institute. UH, and she turned between

57
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: terms to coin terms spiritually transformative experiences or stes, which

58
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 3: essentially is is the same term as what Abraham aslom

59
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: Walter of STACE not as psychologists who call these kinds

60
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: of mystical experiences peak experiences. The design changed it a

61
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: little bit and called it s these spiritus sort of experience.

62
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: I don't like that term, but essentially we're talking about

63
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: a sense of unity between the person's inner self and

64
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: they're out of self. They have a strong positive emotions.

65
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: They transcend space and time and say we caught the objective,

66
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: the objectivity, the reality of their insights are beyond real,

67
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: like the back of their hands. And they can't describe

68
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: it using language. It's ineffable. And that's what's lacking a

69
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: scientific understanding, psychological linguistic We don't have the language linguistic

70
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: terms to use the best describe the experience itself. But

71
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: what we note, and we'll talk about this good detail,

72
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: is that they are transformed in a very positive way

73
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 3: over time, not in all cases, and it often comes

74
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: at a cost. But we call these stes. Next year

75
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: we may call it by a different term.

76
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: Well, look how they've changed the UFO word to up

77
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: the same thing, same thing. What are the various traits

78
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: to create the STE experience?

79
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 3: There are different transient states of reality that results from

80
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 3: the stes, and they take a variety of forms and

81
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: perceptions from non earthly environments and includes non human intelligences.

82
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 3: And when I say that that we're talking about deities,

83
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: to the grays, to everything in between. But they believe

84
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: with a sense of certainty typical of any perceptent they

85
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: have during their everyday life, that these experiences upon the

86
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: real and the ups. Of course, it's just one type

87
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: of trigger where people who've caught these physical sensations the

88
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: sense of being mobilized. We know all about it, that

89
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 3: hate could be overly redondant choice. I'm sure the vast

90
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: majority of not all, of the audience has hurted over

91
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: the details of these kinds of interactions, both physically and

92
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: non physically. In fact, when I was a member of

93
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: the Doctor in the Mitchell Foundation, we found that the

94
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: vast majority of the individuals who interact with the uIP

95
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: have non physical interactions or telepathic consciousness like the interactions.

96
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 3: And the point is this is a type of trigger

97
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: because it does cause many of these kinds of peak

98
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: experienced symptoms I alluded to earlier. The other, obviously is

99
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: in their death experience. People have that experience of that

100
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 3: tunnel of life, the interaction with the supreme beings fell

101
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 3: up this life review, et cetera. And the out body experience,

102
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: which of course is part of the NDE, but it

103
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: can be it can occur in the absence of the

104
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: nd as people report, and that will result in usually

105
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: the visual a matter of sensory perceptions, the sense that

106
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: their mind is interacting with something else or being independent

107
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: of the body, which of course can be quite horrific

108
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: initially until they adapt to it might and that's true

109
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: for all of these ST triggers. Another type is the

110
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: ingestion of psychoactive drugs that you talk about. Science Now,

111
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: scientists are getting very much more heavily involvement in the

112
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: search of psychoactive drugs and looking at it in terms

113
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: of creating the alto state of consciousness and the trans

114
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: personal effects that it has on the person. And we're

115
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: all aware of its benefits potential benefits in terms of

116
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:43,119
Speaker 3: PTSD treatment, addiction treatment, et cetera. But we're also seeing

117
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: it in terms of psychological benefits as well, and we

118
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: see that with most of these too, same as true

119
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: with Kundling awakenings. Another trigger where people will have experience

120
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: these sensations of heat energy rising or shooting up in

121
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: their body, typically in and around the spine. The term

122
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 3: chakra of course comes to mind, and that whole dynamic.

123
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: But they have this that these feelings of bliss painly

124
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: in their body, involuntary movements, and these these are just

125
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: a few of the kinds of triggers, and there are

126
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: more like human traumatic events can can start peak experiences

127
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: with the ease, prayer, sensory isolation, among other things. So

128
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: in my paper Georgia you mentioned, I talked about the

129
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 3: more common ones as I just alluded to.

130
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: What has been from your peers, the kind of reaction

131
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: to these thoughts.

132
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: They're becoming more much more open minded, I think than

133
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: ever before.

134
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: More acceptable, more acceptable.

135
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: Oh, without without question, you know most it was just

136
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: a survey done for instance on up it's just published

137
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: one of four professors believe that USO's UAPs or et

138
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 3: in nature. And you know what, if we people started

139
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: to actually come down to a closet and and share

140
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: their their personal view points openly, I think we would

141
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: be amazed at the at the strong beliefs that people

142
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 3: have and what we considered as anomalous experiences, which I

143
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: guess go under the umbrella of these spirituity transformat experiences.

144
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: But there was a Gallup poll back in three approximately

145
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: eighty million Americans at that time reported to have had

146
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: a spiritual transformative experience. It is and it's probably under

147
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: reported too. And over those millions, many of course are

148
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: in spiritual crisis spiritual emergency as the terms coined on

149
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: the psychologic community. We'll talk about this further. Has has

150
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: is not educated in terms of how to evaluate people

151
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: who are truly going through an identity crisis, with questions

152
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 3: of what happened to me? Why me? What does it mean?

153
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: What do I do? Who do I tell? After these

154
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: kinds of experiences, So they lived in silence, and they

155
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: try to seek their own self meditative, you know, or

156
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 3: more meditative or stress reduction, rude, whatever works for them.

157
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's in the form of good or bad practices

158
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: in order to deal with the anxiety that is obviously

159
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: provoked from these experiences. It makes such sense to them's

160
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: anatological shock. Their concept in other words, of reality is shattered.

161
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: What they thought was real before their ste is no

162
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: longer real now they agnostics believe in a supreme being.

163
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 3: The people who respond scientists now believe in alternate realities,

164
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: you know. Jeff Kreipel historian philosophy. They wrote a book

165
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: not long ago about important scientists who had spiritual transformative

166
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: experiences who flipped who flipped being.

167
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 2: Right?

168
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, in varying ways. Either they like Eben Alexander neurosurgeon,

169
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: had a neared experience and what he gave up his practice.

170
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 3: He's now talking about neared up experiences, meditative practices, higher

171
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 3: consciousness and all that. But he's not alone. Regardless of

172
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: who you are, it doesn't matter you now see, according

173
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: to them who have this experience, they see the truth,

174
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: but they do go through this this anthological shock. Now

175
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: I have to make sense with the new reality. In

176
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: other words, is what they say. But that leads that

177
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: oncological shock leads to these kinds of eager dissolution events

178
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: that people report where they are no longer as much

179
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: as sumpatable of they once work. We all have that

180
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: ego we were impeded by our brainless ways to our brain.

181
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 3: We all have our faults, and we all are egoic. Unfortunate,

182
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 3: you know, unfortunately too many people are too egoic, and

183
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: that can be a detrimental to those around her, but

184
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: as well as well as oneself. But the point is

185
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: that become more humane, George. Overall, they we see these

186
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: positive trans personal outcomes that manifest in so many different

187
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 3: ways that I'm sure your audiences as well as are

188
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: familiar with less materialism, more spiritual, more compassionate, sympathetic, everything

189
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: we'd want to be. It seemed to become more of

190
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: in terms in a positive way. Uh, and and that's beautiful.

191
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: I've met many people who have gone through these kinds

192
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 3: of transformations resulting from an ste you know, they they

193
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 3: report this unifying antconnectedness or cosmic consciousness, have no idea. Well,

194
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: I have an idea in a way what that means

195
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 3: because I had a coneline experience. But we usually put

196
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: these terms to the experience that really goes nowhere in

197
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: terms of what it implies consciousness. Yeah, come on, what

198
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 3: are you talking about here? Well, it could be something

199
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: to it. I don't mean to downplay it, but for

200
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: the lack of definition, and that's what again is lacking

201
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 3: now as scientific community, we don't have a criteria to

202
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 3: actively define much of what we're talking about here, and

203
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 3: we need to with great precision in order to better

204
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 3: develop theories and methods to study it more. How do

205
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: we measure for instance, are kinds of symptoms people have

206
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 3: when they have these sees. They say, I'm in a

207
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: timeless environment. I have hallucinations. Well I have an idea

208
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: what that is. But they experienced spirit possession with channeling,

209
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 3: they interacting non human intelligence. But all the other about

210
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 3: experience and that experience, I mean, what do we do

211
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 3: with that? You know, I'm talking to a person who

212
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 3: had an see and he said I had an expansive

213
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: settle of sense. I think it was that that That's

214
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 3: that somehow the wall between me and the world had

215
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: come down. It's like a breakdown of the boundary of

216
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: what they had normally thing for themselves. You know, they

217
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: feel this intransic unity of all the interdependency of everything.

218
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 3: They they feel they understand everything, everything is supposed to

219
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: be of that part of the plants, the sun, the ground.

220
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 3: What is that all about? Why? And they see that

221
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 3: In experiments done on psycholactic drugs by John Hopkins University,

222
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: remarkable o research coming out out there there in terms

223
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: of d MP di'mical trip to me the act to

224
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: be green into niahl Oscar and a lot of scientists

225
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: are looking at d MT as possibly a good control

226
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 3: mechanism or a way to induce a spirituy transformative experience

227
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: and then study it because because you can control it

228
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 3: in a laboratory setting, you can't control an NDE. It

229
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: doesn't occur spontaneously, right, and I'm not going to be

230
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: a subject for that, or an OBE or UAP can

231
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: only et cetera. And that's why scientists, getting back to

232
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: your early question, Georgian was a good one. That's why

233
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 3: a lot of scientists a it's all becoming more interested

234
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: in these kinds of experiences, especially with respects to cycle

235
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: back the effects for medicinal purposes in value, as well

236
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: as as understanding yesence of consciousness. Potentially even silicon valities

237
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: getting involved with d MP, believe it or not. So

238
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: there's a long way to go to it's understanding what

239
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 3: let alone with the brain is all about, but certainly

240
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: what consciousness is.

241
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: What's amazing, Bob, is that the ancients knew about this

242
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: way before anybody, and they were right.

243
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: To a large extent. And and you know, we often

244
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 3: search for answers in folklore and the Bible and other

245
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 3: various texts, and and we do come across this type

246
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: of information which is difficult to interpret very metaphorical in nature.

247
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: But you can make a case that they are right,

248
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: because what we see is that this increase in spirituality

249
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: is something that was lost as a going in Copernican

250
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 3: Luttonian age that divide between spiritual and beliefs and just

251
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 3: widened as as our scientific evolution took off, and we've

252
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: lost that sense of spirituality and there's a lot of

253
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: truth there. We we find the type of truth seekers

254
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 3: that we used to be, and that's very unfortunate. And

255
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 3: what's interesting is that these stes make people more ecologically sensitive,

256
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 3: bring them in greater connection to their environment, to all

257
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 3: forms of life, to the extent where they never worked

258
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 3: about it extreme before their ste But yes, those of

259
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: the past do seem to know a great deal. In fact, George,

260
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 3: one of the best interviews I've ever heard about u

261
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 3: aps and spirits were from and I forget the gentleman's name.

262
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: He's ahead of a tribe in southwest Arizona. I'm sure

263
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 3: you never I'm referring to. But he talks about the

264
00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 3: phenomena as spirits interacting with us good both that brings

265
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: up notions of skinwalker ranch, et cetera. Is there truth

266
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: to that, and very well can be, but you can't

267
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: denounce it. And science unfortunately can objectively quantify it, but

268
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 3: only qualify it through anecdotal evidence. And that's true of

269
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 3: all of what we're talking about, primarily anecdotal subjective evidence,

270
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 3: and that unfortunately doesn't carry a great deal of weight

271
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 3: in our under Newtonian tritics, which we need sorely, but

272
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 3: it is not able to is not designed to address

273
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 3: the issues that we are dealing with, which is why

274
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: we do need that paradigm shift.
